Moses knows everything, no really everything… well everything there is to know about sex.  She asks questions and I answer honestly.  My moms says I should sugar coat things. Yeah Mom I’ll do that.  Aren’t you the one that said you sat on the toilet and out I came?  You referred to me as a turd!  Thanks for clearing that up for me.  I didn’t know what a vagina was until I  started my period… fun times.

OK so here it is, Moses knows all the body parts and their functions.  This is the same kid that was so interested in parasites that I had to show her pictures of them on the net for a week and she especially liked the one where worms were escaping from some poor kids ass.  However she thinks the penis is actually called peanuts.  Yeah she tells people her dad has peanuts.  So funny.  I don’t think he minds.  He sometimes refers to himself as the Man Log of Love… (giggle)…  She knows how babies are made and she knows where they come out of.  She even asks pregnant women when their baby will come out of their Titi… she asked our neighbor this one daily when she was pregnant.  She even told her how painful it would be. Moses is so helpful.

Not too long ago we were looking in a magazine that featured Lesbian couples.  I was explaining what it meant.  She understood right away.  She has two grandmas, (sperm donors moms) and her little buddy on her soccer team last year had two moms and two dads.  Moses was a bit jealous.  She wanted more parents.  Well beings she knows how moms and dads make babies, which she calls sexing, she wanted to know how Daddies do sexing.  For the first time ever I couldn’t explain this to her.  For one thing it actually embarrassed me.  For those who know me this doesn’t happen often.  So I told her beings I was a girl I didn’t know how this worked out.  You think she let this go?  Yeah no.  She could have asked me about mommies but this didn’t interest her. I somehow got her to give it up for a little while but I’m sure as soon as she remembers she’ll ask again.

So for now, I’m in the clear, however I don’t know if I can explain how mommies do sexing either.  Maybe my mother was right. Oh god did I just say that?  Damn, I’ll start making things up.  Why not confuse her until it’s obvious she thinks I’m a liar?

  3. you know Betty you are really, really good at this writing thing! oh and i was the same with my daughter until she wanted details, then all of a sudden it wasn’t so cool to be the forthcoming, truthful mom…basically i told her that she needed to wait a little bit longer for the exact details until I grew up a little more!

  5. Too funny!

    I watched a show (I think it was Oprah) where they said that you should never have to have “the talk” but rather start out young and continue sharing “age” appropriate information. If you’re not sure let them guide … if they ask, “Mommy, what does XXX mean?” I’ve learned to say, “Well, what do you think XXX means?” Based on what they know … or in most cases what they DON’T know … you can decide how to answer. Usually works but occassionally they come up with something that just … well, leaves me speechless … which isn’t easy to do! LOL *SmiLes*

  6. I think open and honest is the way to go, and agree with Suzanne, maybe next time Moses asks, ask her how she thinks they might. I don’t know, I make my husband handle the hard stuff. (that came out sounding wrong) I let him talk to my son. And luckily they don’t ask too many questions.

  7. Thanks all for the advice, you’re all right. My husband and I talked about the idea of letting them guided the conversation by what they know already and just squash the completely inaccurate. We’ll see how it goes.
